py in smother column the notice of the
ath of our esteemed friend and fellow citizen. For more than forty years had he been
connected with the mercantile community of
the islands, and during that long period had
sustained a mercantile character of the highest honor and integrity. We mourn his loss
as a personal friend and much esteemed citiand can truly sympathize with the circle
bereaved friends and relatives.

At the late annual meeting of the
Children's Missionary Society, we listened
with much interest to the address of Sanford
B. Dole, Esq. His topic, Unconscious Influence. His remarks were exceedingly
apt, and illustrations well chosen. We hope
the address will be published by the Society.
Dr. Hillebrand.—In the last Australian
steamer for San Francisco, we noticed the
departure of this gentleman, who has for
more than twenty years been a much esteemed Physician in Honolulu, and also Physician of the Queen's Hospital, ever since its
establishment. This position he filled with
great credit to himself, and acceptance to the
patients.

Died in Honolulu, June 29th, William H. Pense, Esq., a native of New York.
He was educated in New York City. He
had resided on the islands about twenty
years. He was extensively known as a naturalist, and had correspondents among scientific men in all parts of the world. He died
very suddenly, and only a few moments before he died sealed letters and packages of
shells for correspondents in New Zealand.
His library in the department of science
and natural history was the finest in Polynesia.

Visits to Places of Special Interest in the
Old World-No. 7.
During our European tour, having visited
Paris, and taken special interest in examining two of ihe most renowned monuments
which adorned the oily, viz. : the " Arc-dcTrioiophe," nnd the "Column Vendome," it
has been with mingled emotions of sorrow
and indignation that we have been compelled to read the accounts of their destruction.
It was our privilege to ascend to the summit
of each, and view the city from those commanding eminences. Little did we imagine,
as we stood upon them, and contemplnted
their firmness and strength—solid as granite,
brass and iron could make them, —that only
a twelve-month would pass ere both would
lie in ruins. We think our readers will be
interested in a few facts connected with their
history and construction.
The "Arc-de-Triomphe occupied a commanding position, from whence twelve avenues or boulevards branched out. This famous Arch was commenced in 1806, and was
finished under the reign of Louis Philippe,
at a cost of nearly two million dollars, or ten
millions of francs. The great Arch messured ninety feet, and the total height was one
hundred and fifty-two feet. Its sides were
ornamented with entablatures, sculptured in
the highest style of artistic excellence, and
contained representations of various victories
of the French, from 1792 to 1810.
sfThe "Column Vendome" is in ruins,
and a full account of its fall was announced
in the papers received by the last mail. This
famous column was constructed after the
pattern of the renowned column of Trajan,
now standing in Rome. It is a singular fart
that Trajan's column should have withstood
the successive invasions of Goths, Vandals,
and all the other enemies of Rome, but this
of Napoleon, equally grand and solid, should
have been pulled down, not by tbe enemies
of France, but the French themselves. It
was inaugurated in 1810, or sixty years ago.
Round the shaft run a spiral bass-relief, composed of 425 plates of brass, made of Austrian cannon, representing incidents in the
campaign of 1805, and on the top stood a
statue of Napoleon 1., erected in 1863. The
total height of the column was 134 feet, and
could have been ascended inside. The fall

month, near Colfax, among the Indians, and
was buried on the following day. For some
time after he came from the Islands he was
supported by a monthly allowance by the
Sabbath-school of the Congregational church
in Sacramento, and appeared well, and
seemed to be doing good. After a time, the
want of Christian society, and the influence
of the Indians, were too much for him, and
he sank toward them rather than brought
them toward him ; and the Sabbath-school
felt constrained to withhold his support.
For several months he has had a bad cough,
but was not really sick more than two weeks,
and kept about till the day before his death.
Two days before, he sent for Rev. Mr. Jordan, the local Methodist preacher, and expressed to him sorrow lor his past life and
liis faith in Jesus Christ, acknowledged several wrong deeds, and sent a request to one
party that he would come and see him, that
he might have the assurance of his forgiveness. He seemed to be sincerely penitent,
and from the relation of his experience Mr.
Jordan was satisfied he was a Christian.
He requested the Indians not to burn his
body, which is their custom, and they assented to his request.
Accordingly, the
citizens in the neighborhood gave him a
Christian burial. He was dressed in his
best clothes, and wrapped in a pretty bedcover or comforter, given him by a lady in
the Sandwich Islands. All the Indians followed the remains to the grave, and remained
during the services. Among the things he

and then desconded, striking a sailor and

the word was given out that the Column
would not fall before seven o'clock. A general expression of disapprobation then went
through the crowd. Abadie was accused of
complicity with the Versailles Government,
and threatened with the guillotine.
At twenty minutes past five o'clock the
cable was again stretched for the work of

spectators, the vast column moved and swayed, and then swept magnificently down,

Mills Seminary.
From California papers and a "Circular,''
we learn that the Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Miils,
will remove their Seminary from Benicia to
Brooklyn, Alameda County, five miles from
Oakland. It appears from these documents
that a large and spacious edifice, capable of
accommodating two hundred pupils, principals, teachers and servants, has been erected
nnd will be ready for occupancy on the Ist
of August. We have long been aware that
Mr. and Mrs. Mills have been contemplating the removal of their school, and most
truly do we rejoice to learn that they will
soon enter their new premises, so admirably
fitted to accommodate a large number of
pupils. Just such an institution was needed,
and that it has been established is a matter
for devout thanksgiving. Some of the rich
men of California have shown their good
sense, in making liberal contributions to this
enterprise, It was our privilege in the
Spring of 1869, to spend two or three days
in the Benecia Seminary, attend recitations
and observe the general management of the
institution, and from what we then witnessed, we do not hesitate to express our
decided belief that the " Mill's Seminary,"
enlarged and beautified, will prove a grand
success ; Mr. and Mrs. Mills are admirably
qualified for its management. Their long
experience as teachers in India, Sandwich
Islands, and Benecia, will now fit them to
impart to the young ladies of California and
Oregon, a sound, practical and polished
education, just as good as can be obtained
in any part of the world.
The late Dr. Nelson, who wrote the
Cause and Cure of Infidelity," also wrote
the familiar hymn, " My days are gliding
swiftly by." To many the fact will have
eculiar interest that it was written in a
lissouri swamp, close by the Mississippi
river, while the Doctor was hiding from the
blood-hounds of the Fugitive Slave Law,
until he could cross the river into Illinois.

A Noteworthy Discourse.
June Meetings and Anniversaries.
The Rev. F. Thompson, of Hilo, occupied the
pulpit of the Fort Street Church on Sunday last, and
preached to a full audience from the text, _ld Cor.
10:6. ** Casting down imaginations, and every
high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge
of God, and bringing into captivity every thought
The " May meetings" of London, New
York, and Boston, have become renowned,
and much resorted to from various parts of
the world. The montn of June, is becoming somewhat conspicuous, as the season,
when occur most of our Anniversaries of
Benevolent Societies, Ecclesiastical Associations, and School Examinations. During
the past month these various meetings have
crowded so closely upon each other that a
person needed the power to he present in
more than one place at the same time, if he
would attend all these gatherings.
So far as the islands at large are concerned, the meetings of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association have been of the utmost
importance. This body has held daily sessions for two weeks. The exercises and
discussions have all been conducted in the
Hawaiian language.

PORT OF HONOLULU, S. I.
Affecting Scene in Court.—An unusual
nnd affecting scene occurred in the Criminal
Court at Washington, recently, on the occasion of a prisoner's receiving sentence of
death. Judge Olin, while addresstog the
guilty man, said : " I do not know how true it
is, but I saw in the papers what purported to
be a letter to you from your mother. Have
you a mother living ? " The prisoner replied in a feeling voice, " I have." "It was a
letter," said the judge, "expressing all that
kindly, motherly anxiety for you that a
mother could express. It touched my heart
deeply. (Here the judge was overcome, and
the prisoner, bowing his head wept audibly.)
Would to God that yon might be removed
from a situation like this for that mother's
sake and that sister's sake." (The judge
again became so deeply affected that he had
to pause to wipe away the tears coursing
down his cheeks, while the feeling seemed
to be shared by the counsel on both sides,
the officers of the Court and many spectators.) The judge then said he would not
willingly say a word that would wound
the prisoner's feelings—nothing but kindness;
and, after a few further remarks, passed sentence on the prisoner.

attention to this brunch of study. li.it in all our

scholars be benefited, but the teachers would find

each day, did they but exercise their muscle more

I earnestness.
The Dark Wood.
Upon an eve I eat me down and wept.
Because tbe world to me seemed nowise good ;
Still autumn was it, and tbe meadows slept.
The misty hills dreamed, and the silent wood
Beamed listening to tbe sorrow of my mood
I knew not if tbe earth with me did grieve.
Or if it mocked my grief, that bitter eve.
:
*
Then 'twixt my tears a maiden did I see,
Who drew anigh me o'er tbe leaf-strewu grass,
Then stood and gazed upon me pitifully,
With grief-worn eyes, until my woe did pass
From me to her, and tearless now I was ;
And sho, 'mid tears was asking me of one
She long had sought unaided and alone.
'
,
Him I knew not of, and she turned nwsy
Into tbe dark wood ; while my own great pain
Still held me there, till dark had slain the day,
And perished at the gray dawn's hand again
l'hen from the wood a voice cried, "Ah, in vain,
Iv vain I seek thee, oh, thou bitter sweet !
Iv what lone land are set thy longed-for feet?"
Then I looked up, and lo ! a man there came
From 'mid the trees, and stood regarding me ;
And once again my tears were dried for shame ;
But he oried out, "Oh, mourner, where is she
Whom I have sought o'er every land and sea?
1 love her, and she loveth me, and still
We meet no more than green hill meeteth hill."
The earnest boy always has
friends, and is sure to become a man to'be
respected. But deliver us from sneering,
sarcastic, skeptical boys, and deliver the
boys that regard life as a mere joke, from
themselves and their prospects.
There is a very characteristic story extant
of the President of an institution where
many boys from our islands have gone to
develop themselves. Tin horns becoming
unusually resonant of nights, he remarked
just before "chapel exercises " one evening
" I have heard a good deal of " tooting " on
tin horns of late. Now 1 don't know as
there is anything morally wrong in a tin
horn, or in blowing through it, but I have
always noticed that tooting boys were pretty
sure to turn out tooting men." The horns
did'iit blow tiiat night.

through with a sufficiency of rites and almsgiving to place him on the safe side when
this life ends, who makes his creed a kind of
spiritual fire-insurance policy, maybe regarded as devoutly pious by those who know him
best, and pass for a pillar of the church ; he
may even be honest with himself, and live
up to his ideal, such as it is ; but a widely
different character is that ol the brother, be
he within or without the pule of the church
militant, whose sympathy and best assistance
are always going out to the afflicted and suflering, the sinning and the fallen ; nnd who
sometimes forgets himself in his crowded
thoughtfulnessfor others.

Boys.
Boys are a great institution. They are,
strange to say, an important part of society.
There is many a man that would rather face
a battery with his regiment than the combined sarcasm of that band of imps, the
village boys. Wo be to him, if they have a
" down on him." In fact, there is such
magic in the term " the boys" that even
when we have grown up to be men, we don't
relinquish the title, and still call the company, or whatever it may be, " the boys."
The real boys ought to resent it as an infringement on their trade-mark.
The man that can seize by sympathy and
good sense the minds and will of a lot of
boys really exerts more influence than a
king. He has unmeasured part in the future
history of the place or the country. What
men then should we have for teachers ?
Men seldom speak of it, but they see very
much more of the future man in the boy,
than the boy has any idea of. Is the boy
plucky, generous, honest? Men see it, and
think, as they meanwhile peg boots, or paint
carriages, and watch the boy go past: There
goes the honest man of twenty years hence.
Is the boy tricky, sly, sneering. Ten to one

notion of.
